"Yes!" The driver did not dare to make a sound.
Wendy licked her lower lip in a daze. "I'm sorry, Chairman Hogg. I didn't know you would send me tonic soup again ... "
"You're all alright now?" Gilbert didn't smile and asked calmly.
Wendy nodded and replied, "Well, the doctor said that it's okay to rest at home ... "
"Hum." Gilbert nodded as well. He picked up his glass of juice and took a sip.
Wendy wiped her sweat silently. She wondered how long the awkward conversation would last ...
The driver next to the couch answered a phone call. After hanging up, he reported to Gilbert, "Old Master, Madam is suffering from a headache. The family doctor just went over to give her some medicine and let her rest. She's fine now, but I'm afraid she can't go to the fishing garden with you later!"
"I see!" Gilbert frowned and nodded.
Wendy heard this and was relieved when she knew that Gilbert had other arrangements later. However, she did not expect that the next second, he suddenly asked her, "Are you doing anything this afternoon?"
"Uh, no ... " She shook her head subconsciously.
"Then you can take Larry to go with me!" Gilbert directly ordered. "Ah?" Wendy widened her eyes.
"You got an opinion?" Gilbert's face became serious again. He snorted and explained, "I have an appointment with Chase of the Dragon Limited. He withdrew the lawsuit against Charlie, I should express my gratitude for arranging a feast when he comes to the Ice city. However, Chase said that he suddenly wanted to go fishing, so I made the arrangement in the fishing garden! Didn't you have contact with him when you went to Hong Kong? That's why I asked you to go with me!"
Wendy was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Uh, are you sure you want me to go with you?"
It was hard to describe what it's like to go on a business party with Gilbert ...
"Cut the crap! 11 Gilbert rolled his eyes at her and stood up from the couch. Without giving her a chance to speak, he took the lead and walked out of the villa after saying these words. "Take Larry upstairs to change clothes. I will wait for you in the car."
" ... " Wendy opened her mouth.
She didn't think she said yes ...
Looking at the figure that had reached the entrance in the blink of an eye, Wendy had to go upstairs with Larry. After thinking for a while, she hurried to call Charlie for help, but no one answered. He should be in a meeting, with his phone on mute. She then sent a text message to inform him about the situation.
When she came out of the villa with Larry, Gilbert, who was sitting in the car, was already impatient, but after meeting his grandson's eyes, he did not lose his temper in the end.
Wendy bent down and sat down, feeling awkward, no matter where she put her hands.
Until the car drove out of the yard, she still felt very puzzled ...
She had come to the fishing garden more than once, so she was quite familiar with it. As soon as they sat down on the shore, the waiter led Chase slowly over.
Chase was still wearing his Tai Chi suit, but he changed into a grey one. Leaning on his crutch, he still looked energetic. When he saw her, he immediately greeted her happily. "The little girl is here, too?"
"Chase!" Wendy hastily nodded.
"Miss Lim!" Then a male voice called out to her.
At this time, Larry suddenly wrinkled his face and said.
Wendy felt relieved and finally found an excuse to escape the scene. "Well, I'll take Larry to the bathroom first!"
"Miss Lim, I'll go with you!" Francis immediately stood up.
"No, thank you ... " Wendy hastily waved her hand.
"It's OK!" Francis followed her anyway.
Even Gilbert had not noticed this grandson of Chase, but could sense more or less that he was very attentive towards Wendy. Gilbert could not help but frown.
Chase didn't intend to hide anything and just said directly, "As a young man, my grandson is not worse than Mr. Hogg, right? My grandson is still single now. But he told me his feelings for the little girl. They are about the same age, I think they're quite match!"
"Ha-ha!" Gilbert's smile was a bit stiff.
Chase didn't intend to end this topic so easily. "Chairman Hogg, you don't want this little girl to be the daughter-in-law of the Hogg family, but there's someone else thinking about her! As the saying goes, the world is unpredictable. Maybe one day, this little girl will really become my granddaughter-in.law!"
At this time, Gilbert had already forgotten that he once didn't agree on the relationship between Wendy and Charlie. He only felt that the flower that grew up in his son's yard was now stolen by a pig who suddenly broke in. He couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid not!"
"That's not true!" Chase shook his head.
Gilbert choked on Chase's words and turned his face to look at Wendy, who hadn't gone far. When his eyes fell on the small figure, who was held by Wendy, he was suddenly in high spirits. "They have a son!"
